It has been half a month since he came back from Jin'an, and in the past half a month, Zhang Jian has been out hanging out in addition to being at home, as for Wei Ze and the Wu brothers, they have not seen each other again, and the three of them have just been transferred to complicated official affairs Zhang Jian of course wants to get it, and now he has money and time and is happy to fish at home. Thinking back to when I first came to this world, I was still complaining about God's injustice, and now although I can't pretend to be everywhere, it's good that I don't lack anything, isn't it?

Zhang Jian felt indifferent to those rewards in power, but now Feng Si, who was a housekeeper, was quite indignant about this matter. bluntly said that the lord made several meritorious contributions when he was in Jin'an, and he was also the lord of the book, even if he returned to Linchuan now, he would not be idle at home, although these rewards were valuable, they were still almost meaningless compared to the official position.

Zhang Jian asked Feng Si with a smile: "In your heart, is it better to be an official or rich?" ”

Facing Zhang Jian's soul torture, Feng Si only hesitated for a moment and replied, "Of course it's good to be an official, can you still have no money if you become an official, my lord, you are so smart, you don't know it." ”

Zhang Jian wanted to reason with him, but he was stunned by Feng Si's answer. Yes, everyone's thinking is different, if they can understand the reason and do it, then the world will stop.

"Feng Si."

"Sir."

"Have you ever heard that 'one life is an official, and the ninth generation is a cow', it is easy to make mistakes when you are an official, if you just blindly accumulate wealth and bend the law for personal gain to disappoint the people, you will fall into the way of animals in the next life."

Feng Si had heard such words, and his belief in Zhang Jian immediately made him regret and said: "If it is really as the master said, it is still good to be rich, it is too dangerous to be an official." ”

"yes, it's too dangerous." Zhang Jian muttered

The two chatted energetically, and the little servant suddenly came to report that there was a man named Murong Chong outside the mansion who asked to see him.

As soon as Zhang Jian heard that it was the life-saving benefactor who came, he hurriedly got up to greet him in person, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Murong Chong waiting in front of the door in civilian clothes.

"Brother Murong's sudden visit flattered Jane."

Murong Chong looked up when he heard the sound and saw that it was Zhang Jian who came out to greet him personally, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lord Mo Lao personally greeted him." ”

Zhang Jian hugged Murong Chong and said, "What adult, is Brother Murong joking?" ”

This is not a compliment on Murong Chong, but although Zhang Jian was temporarily appointed by Wei Ze as the head of the county government when he was in Jin'an, he was already much higher than Murong Chong in terms of grade.

"Come on, come on, you're my savior, and you'll be slapping me in the face if you see it like that. Brother Murong is older, if he doesn't dislike you, I will be commensurate with the words, and I will not see the outside. ”

"Hahaha!"

Then Zhang Jian pulled Murong Chong to the living room and instructed his subordinates to serve tea, "Brother Shen, don't be surprised, it's rare for me to have someone to visit, and I haven't prepared for a while." ”

Murong Chong smiled again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, I heard about it... I heard that Brother Dao Zhen returned with the son, so he took leave from the camp to visit, and the demeanor of Brother Dao in Fuzhou was better than that at the beginning! ”

Zhang Jian said secretly: What kind of style, it is nothing more than eating well and wearing well, compared to the original escape, of course, it is a hundred sets.

"Yes, in the past, I went to Jin'an with the son of the world as soon as I said goodbye to Fuzhou, and I never had the opportunity to thank Brother Shen.

Feeling Zhang Jian's enthusiasm, Murong Chong shook his head and said, "Brother Daozhen, don't blame, I will only take a day off in the camp next, and I will return to the camp early tomorrow morning, so there is no need to drink." ”

Zhang Jian and the Wu brothers have been getting along for a long time, and they have heard the military regulations of the near army, and since Murong Chong said so, Zhang Jian is no longer insistable.

Murong Chong hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Brother Dao Zhen has made great contributions to Jin'an with his son, why is he not at home now?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Murong Chong suddenly felt inappropriate, if he changed others, he would definitely think more, but Zhang Jian didn't care, "Isn't it a beautiful thing to be so leisurely and comfortable?" I'm a talented person who is shallow, and if I really have the matter of being an official, I'm afraid that I will lose face in the future. ”

Zhang Jian saw that Murong Chong was embarrassed, so he opened the topic and said: "Speaking of rewards, Brother Shen's defeat of Zhu Xiong in Fuzhou to protect the city is safe, this is a great achievement, presumably it is already a high promotion now." ”

Either say which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, as soon as it comes to this matter, Murong Chong couldn't help but look dark, waved his hand and said, "It's okay not to mention it, it's okay not to mention it." ”

Zhang Jian was puzzled: "What?" What else is inconvenient to say to the younger brother? ”

Murong Chong looked at Zhang Jian and sighed: "It's nothing, after the Battle of Fuzhou, he was promoted to a lower rank, and now he still holds the position of centurion of the army." ”

At this time, Zhang Jian was puzzled, "Brother, isn't he joking?" In the first battle of Fuzhou, the brother killed and captured no less than 100 bandits in Nanling Mountain, and in the end, he was only promoted to one level? ”

"It's not a secret, it's not a Jiangnan person, let alone a Han person, and for more than ten years, Rong Ma is just a centurion today, and it is a great reward to be able to be promoted to the next level."

Only then did Zhang Jian understand why Murong Chong was worried, this Chu State inherited the Sui State, and the Sui State followed the Tan Dynasty. The Tan Dynasty selects the first family, as the so-called 'high-grade has no cold people, and the lower grade has no family', this is the view of the family, and Murong Chong is not only not a family, but can also be said to be inferior to himself.

This is going to talk about the new public opinion after the destruction of the Tan Dynasty and the division of the world, the chaos in the world at the end of the Tan Dynasty and the people in Jiangbei are all over the place, and a large number of Jiangbei people moved south, and in the Southern Dynasties, both Suiguo and Chu originated in Jiangzuo, so the original people in Jiangnan had identity discrimination against Jiangbei fugitives, and Murong Chong, as a Hu person, was the key object of exclusion.

In the face of such a historical problem, what can Zhang Jian do except sigh, he is now a white body, and the only thing for others is to wish you good luck.

The two chatted for a while, Murong Chong was about to get up and say goodbye, Zhang Jian wanted to invite him to stay in the house for a light meal but was also refused, so Zhang Jian had to personally send Murong Chong to the door of the mansion, watching the lonely figure gradually disappear on the street, although Zhang Jian had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know what to say.

The eighth day of December in the Chu calendar is the day of wax, and the proverb says: the drum sounds, and the spring grass is born.

At that time, people beat thin waist drums, wore Hu Gong and made Vajra Lux to chase away the epidemic, bathe and remove sins.

Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger, and compared to the Spring Festival in the previous life, Linchuan City now seems more popular and has a New Year's feeling. This is the first year that I have come to this world, and although I am not accompanied by my relatives, fortunately, there are still many people in the house to accompany me.

One day, Feng Si suddenly found himself and asked what New Year's goods to prepare in the house. This question really stopped Zhang Jian, in the previous life, the parents were responsible for preparing the New Year's goods at home, and what is sold outside now is different from the previous life, how can I know what to prepare.

So Zhang Jian casually ordered Feng Si to watch and do it himself, and remembered those servants and maids in the mansion, and also asked Feng Si to broadcast some more money, and those who were close to him were also allowed to go home to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with their families.

Feng Si called the old man Kuanren when he heard this, and then ran down.

But after a while, Feng Si ran back again, "Master, there is a tolerance outside, saying that the state government has issued a letter for you to take it personally." ”

Suddenly, a bad premonition rose, and Zhang Jian came to the gate only to see a tolerance glance at him, "Are you Zhang Jian?" ”

"Below is Zhang Jian, dare to ask what is the text?"

said that the messenger took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Jian, and then left without looking back.

Zhang Jian immediately opened the text, only to see that it was written: The wise man Zhang Jian has made meritorious plans, and now appoints Zhang Jian as the county magistrate of Xiaoping County, Nankang County.

Feng Si on the side saw that his master was looking at Xingwen in a daze, so he stepped forward and asked, "Master, what does this text say?" Leave you all stunned. ”

If ordinary people are happy to see this line, it is too late, how many people in a county can't ask for blessings in their lifetime, but Zhang Jian can't be happy for some reason, so he had to shake his head and smile bitterly when Feng Si asked him: "It seems that there is no need to prepare this New Year's goods, you go and prepare to go south with me." ”
